I'm Paula, an avid scrapbooker with 2 nearly grown sons. I have been scrapping for about 17 years & decided that I would like to share my love & talents for it with others. I created 'Precious Pages by Paula' to do exactly that. There is a line of pre-designed scrapbooks & frames, as well as doing custom one-of-a-kind albums with your photos. Cards are prayerfully made in the hopes of carrying special blessings to their recipients.

HMMMMMMM.......TREAT BAGS

I really struggled with this one. Chellange #13 over at Scrap Our Stash Stash-a-Thon was Treat Bags/Mini Bags. I really had to think hard to figure out what I could use for a bag that would fit on my page. Looking around at the mess of supplies on my desk I saw a small bankers envelope. I got out those old old old shaped scissors and used the stamp cut to cut off the top of the envelope turning it into a little bag. I also had decided to use a transparency to how everything lined up under the design was very important. I chose Scrapbook.com April Four Categories #3 - Techniques:Sketch which called for using this sketch but altering it in some way. I chose to rotate the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise and change the number of photos from 4 to 5. After getting it all laid out I had to figure out how you would know it was a bag...so I had to find a way to fill it. Off to my Scraprack to find some Christmas embellishments that could work. I was lucky to find some fun epoxy stickers that worked perfectly.Here is the Sketch:

Here is my Layout:

I didn't realize that the Scrap Our Stash challenge was ending in the afternoon rather than the evening so I am hurrying to finish up. Only one challenge left. Off to work on it! Thanks for stopping by.
